Environment Principal Secretary Gitonga Mugambi says the government has recovered grabbed forest land worth Sh100 million in Ngong, Kajiado County.
The 3.5 acres carved out of Kibiku forest next to the Kenya Institute of Highways and Building Technology had been grabbed by a private developer for private use and was in the process of being developed when the government moved to reclaim it, according to the PS.
